[Question] Installation électrique garage : Cohérence entre serveur ProLiant et entretien scooter ?

[boteh35959]

Hi everyone!

I'm reaching out because I have a bit of a dilemma that combines my two passions: méchanics and computers. In my garage, I have a workshop area for tinkering with my scooter, but I've also set up a small "homelab" to keep me busy in the evenings. Currently, I'm running an old blade server, a ProLiant BL460C equipped with 2.1GHz Hexa Core Xeon processors. It's incredibly reliable hardware for virtualization, but it consumes a lot of power.

The specific issue that brings me here concerns the electrical load and stability of my circuit. I've noticed that when the server is under full load (Xeon processors draw a significant amount of current when they're under load), my lights flicker slightly when I also plug in my scooter battery charger or when I use a power tool. I'm a little worried that the server's constant power consumption might cause my garage electrical panel to overheat, especially since these servers are known for their rather high heat dissipation.

Personally, I love the robustness of these older Hexa Core chips, but I'm starting to wonder if my standard electrical setup can handle this "méchanic's shop + company server" combo in the long run without risking my circuit breaker. I'm worried about frying a sensitive component on the scooter due to electrical interference or a voltage drop caused by the server's power supply.

Have any of you expérienced electrical stability issues when mixing heavy computer equipment with garage tools, or should I seriously consider running a dedicated line to isolate the server section?
